How to stop a "translation war"?

[Juraj Oravec]

Hello,

For a while I maintain a Falkon project.
Since the translations are included and synced every day within the git
repository, I see very often something I call a "translation war".

This "war" consist of changing the SAME translation back and forth over
and over and over again. Which translator is right? I have no idea, all
I know is, that it is a mess and it makes a load of useless commits.

The issue is with an Arabic (ar) translation[2] and what seems to be
numbers. Have a discussion here and now, determine which one is correct,
correct the translation (if needed) and freeze it.

Thank you for your help,
Best regards,
